Korean-inspired Sweet & Spicy Wings

I don’t know how many of you have tried Korean spicy chicken wings prior to having to eat gluten free, I only did once.  And they were delicious, sticky, spicy and oh-so-good! My husband often picks up a pack when we are at the Korean grocer for munching.  I don’t make them at home – [...]

Gluten free weeknight meals & budgeting

So this blog post should really be a post of the numerous ways the month of September has come and is exiting before my head has been able to wrap itself around it all.  Surely I am not the only mom who finds herself witnessing myself both coming and going in the middle of the [...]

Gluten Free Rainbow Enchiladas

Seriously.  This is why my posts have dropped in quantity.  I truly think all of us cook like this, so it feels awkward to post this but here goes nothing.  Maybe someone hasn’t made an enchilada before?  Maybe you are stuck in a rut (like I usually am…lol) making the same-old-same-old meals day in and [...]

Gluten Free Tamale Pie – on the grill

It is not nearly as hot here in the Pacific Northwest as it is where my family is (Chicago & Minnesota).  You guys have certainly had the heat wave.    We are still wearing our October gear in the mornings.  However, yesterday it was 85F.  (I know, still not hot comparatively, but come on… that’s [...]

Help Wanted: Eating GF more wisely, cheaply and saving time. Got tips?

I bet you think I’ve fallen into a large hole around here and have lost internet access, huh? Well, I have, kind of. School started.  Just last year I had 135 students a day (5 classes/high school) and this year?  Oh no… this year I see 171 students (same five classes) and it’s A LOT. [...]

Gluten Free Chicken Fajitas: Meal Planning for ease

Gluten Free Chicken Fajitas, originally uploaded by Kate Chan. With a toddler  running ’round the house and both of us working full-time, life gets a little hectic around dinner time. Being pregnant doesn’t help, because I have moments where I HAVE-TO-EAT-NOW and then hours of I-can’t-eat-anything. It makes meal planning or cooking unpredictable, to say [...]

GF Lazy Lasagna

GF Lazy Lasagna, originally uploaded by Kate Chan. Not the best photo – but really? This was THE BEST lasagna! YUM! I am completely spoiled by My Love who truly is the best cook in the house.  I LOVE cooking and baking, but he has the talents.  I putter and produce tasty things… he putters [...]

A gluten free, simple fig chutney

GF:Simple Fig Chutney, originally uploaded by Kate Chan. Sometimes the easiest recipes yield the best results. The other day I found fresh figs in our market. It seemed kind of strange to me that I found them as i had seen figs in the late summer and October… but heck – who was I to [...]

GF: Chinese Chicken & Corn Chowder

GF: Chinese Chicken & Corn Chowder, originally uploaded by Kate Chan. Somethings happen more quickly than anticipated. Like the dinner hour approaching on a school/work night. Seriously. I never knew how fast one hour could fly until now. Life is so much fun with the Chicklet that I quickly lose track of food plans and [...]

GF Tortilla Soup

GF Tortilla Soup, originally uploaded by Kate Chan. Sorry for the blogging lags, everyone. I really do have things to share… just not a lot of computer time to share them! And forgive the photo… it was taking without much broth so you could see the ingredients and with a HUNGRY HUNGRY HIPPO begging for [...]

Gluten Free Skillet Pasta

Gluten Free Skillet Pasta, originally uploaded by Kate Chan. Oh, I’m tired. Yes, this little girl is quite the wiggly worm – I love it! But, yes, I am tired. Thankfully, her dad has been able to stay home with us for these first few weeks. I’m so happy he did, too! Not only has [...]

Chipotle London Broil

  Chipotle London Broil, originally uploaded by Kate Chan. Okay – has it really been THAT long since I posted? GOOD GRIEF! The last two weeks of February just about did me in. Between having the flu and waiting for word on the Chicklet’s arrival, I think all of my brain cells were on vacation. [...]
